Our Top Banded Species
1. Yellow-green Vireo
Our director Kyle banded a Yellow-green Vireo at our Orange Beach, AL site on September 9th, 2021. We banded a second individual on Sept. 30th, 2022 at Fort Morgan State Historic Site in AL. The is only the second and third confirmed record of this tropical species in Alabama!
2. Bicknell's Thrush
Emma banded a Bicknell's Thrush on May 2nd, 2023 at her banding site at Auburn University. If accepted, this will be the first confirmed sighting in Alabama!
We hope to continue to add to this list of rare species encounters during our banding efforts! This is important in understanding species dispersal and dynamics.
